Grant Durow is a PhD student in political science at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on conservative and far-right politics, political parties, activist networks, and the intersection of religion and politics with a regional focus on Western Europe. His work examines both how party leader rhetoric and identity contribute to the normalization of far-right parties in Europe and how conservative parties and their activist bases have responded to secularization and changing partisan cleavages around multiculturalism and national identity. Grant primarily uses qualitative and historical methods while also drawing on observational causal inference techniques to strengthen causal claims. He holds a BA in Government, French, and Plan II Honors from the University of Texas at Austin where he has previously done work on the right-wing politics of the Australian government's asylum seeker policies.
